Plot

The sixth season of ‘Black Ink Crew: Chicago’ will see Ryan Henry face a bit of a trouble in his business at 9Mag, when the studio’s former tattoo artist Charmaine, who got laid off in the last season, opens her own female-run shop in the Windy City. Charmaine will be seen collaborating with the globally established tattoo artist Jessica Simpson.

But competing with the new studio isn’t the only problem Ryan will be seen facing in the upcoming season.
